WHAT WE FOUND

Hi there! I can confirm that this report is accurate. Fox News reported that a U.S. official summarized a heated phone call where Donald Trump told Benjamin Netanyahu, "You're fking crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me" 134. Trump himself confirmed the use of the expletive during a later interview, explaining he was 'a little bit perturbed' by the scale of military operations in Lebanon 13. These details were originally brought to light in an Axios report and were subsequently discussed across various news platforms throughout early June 2026 456.
